The household examination roll is from Myresjö parish in Jönkoping. The farm name is Stora…"

Kristen Holquist Waite commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"So, now I have traced G. A. Hultqvist back several generations, and have come across a Britta (also listed on her birth record as Brittagitta) Regina Hultqvist, b. 20 May 1781 in Solberga. Her father is listed as a Magister, or Magitter, and I…"
Kristen Holquist Waite commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Thank you, Lynn and Larry! Yes, there must be some other reason the Högsby church photo was in with their pictures. I was relaying all this information to my mother, who said she thought that Karin was from Skåne.....so that leaves it…"
Kristen Holquist Waite commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Next question: Is there any possibility that Karin Persson (maybe Persdotter?)(my great-grandmother) was the one from Högsby? At this point, all I know of her origin is her birth date (June 10, 1866). She and my great-grandfather married in…"
Kristen Holquist Waite commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Larry, thank you so much! It is just wonderful to have this information,to be able to put together that part of my family. Any idea what the name, "Hultquist" means?"

På Confirmationsdagen: Myresjö d. 13 April 1879."
So, I guess that means that the name was Hultqvist in…"
Kristen Holquist Waite commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Larry, thank you so much for looking. I had been told that they were from Kalmar, and found a very old photo of the Högsby church with other photos that they had, so I thought that meant they were from there. It is possible that they are under…"
Kristen Holquist Waite commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"I don't know if there is a Family History Center near me. Not that I know of. I will google it and find out.
On his marriage record, Frank Nelson listed his father as Holgret Nelson, and his mother as Matilda Swanson. Does that make any sense?"
Kristen Holquist Waite replied to Ron Townsend's discussion H-Swedish Patronymic and Common Name in the group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Yes, I think he was born in Högsby parish."
Kristen Holquist Waite replied to Ron Townsend's discussion H-Swedish Patronymic and Common Name in the group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Holquist, Gustav Adolf, or (Hultqvist, Gustav Adolf)
Born 08 March, 1863 in Högsby, Kalmar län
Emigrated to the United States in mid-1880s.
Died in Omaha, NE in 1925.

Kristen Holquist Waite commented on Debbie Anne Jackson's group Sweden and Swedish Ancestry"Thank you, Lynn! Should I also post to the N-name Discussion Forum, or is Nelson too common a name?
